Taking pictures
Close-up pictures
- 102 -
When you want to enlarge the subject, setting to [ ] enables you to take pictures at an
even closer distance than the normal focus range (up to 1 cm (
25
/
64
”) for max. Wide).
■
Shortest focusing distance
The shortest focusing distance is the distance from the lens front to the subject. This
distance changes gradually depending on the set focal length/zoom position.

Focus range
●
In [Snapshot Mode], the shortest focusing distance will be the same as that for [ ],
regardless of the focus selector switch setting.
●
With the [ ] mode, it can take longer to focus on subjects at normal distances.
●
Using a tripod and [Self Timer] is recommended. Also, we recommend that you close
the flash to set to [ ] (Forced flash off).
●
Moving the camera after focusing is likely to result in unsharp pictures if the subject is
close to the camera, due to the fact that at short distance settings, the range of sharp
rendition is extremely limited.
●
It is not possible to set AF Macro Mode in the following cases.
